FAQ

Common Questions

How fast can I get a stamped letter?

24 hours from a complete submittal: the plan set, module and racking specs, and roof framing information.

What do I need to send?

Your prepared solar plan set, module and racking specs, and roof framing: rafter or truss size, spacing, and span.

Do you work with installers directly?

Yes. Installers work directly with the engineer of record, and steady monthly volume gets per-project pricing.

Are you licensed in my state?

We are PE licensed in CA, NY, NJ, PA, FL, IL, HI, and TX, and SE licensed in IL and HI.
